Windows 10: Disk Management unable to detect HDD

So I recently purchased a brand new 1TB HDD from Seagate and when I load it into my laptop, it will not recognise it or will tell me it does not exist. I have tried this on another laptop and it seems to be working fine, I have even connected an old HDD to my laptop and that is fine. I cannot see an issue, could I get some help?

HDD in a HDD caddy is not showing up in the disk management

Hi,

To assist you better, I would like to ask some questions:

• How are you connecting the HDD Caddy?
• What is the make and model of your computer?

If you are connecting the device using USB, I suggest you to check if other USB devices are recognized as USB devices or Other device. If it is displaying as other device, then the issue might be with the USB port. So, I suggest you to update the USB drivers
by following the steps below:

• Press Windows key + X, select Device Manager.
• Expand Universal Serial Bus Controller.
• Right click on the drive, select Update Driver Software and follow the on-screen prompts.

Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.

 

Disk management console view is not up-to-date

i dont know how to fix your disk management, but i can fix your partition problems...




open up Command Prompt with admin rights. (Right click, run as admin)


enter in
DISKPART
list disk

then find the Disk number for your Raid array... lets call it number 7 ( you can tell what disk is what by the total size)
type in

Select Disk 7
List Partition (will give you a list of all the partitions..)
Select Partition 1 (im assuming you only have 1 partition on Disk 7) repeat this step if you have more partitions.
ASSIGN


that should get the array up and running ready to use.


EDITED.

any problems, post back ^^

side question, have you tried restarting the PC?

 

HDD Not Recognized in Disk Management

Hello,

2 weeks ago I received a new ASUS laptop (ASUS 15 X509FL) with no OS my decision).

After installing the OS (Windows 10) via DOK I'v noticed that my HDD (st1000lm035-1rk172) is detected in the BIOS and the Device Manager but not detected in the Disk management so I cannot use it at all. So for now I can only use my SSD.

What I tried to do so far:

Uninstall the HDD from the device manager.

Update the storge devices and storage controllers drivers.

Install the OS again and from a different USB port.

Update the BIOS into version 302.

Ran windows memory diagnostic.

And nothing helped it.

I did noticed that in the BIOS the HDD is 'Non RAID Physical Disk'

Is there anything I can do before sending the PC to a shop for the physical connection check?

Thanks.
